I don't know about other image editing programs but in GIMP, when saving an image as a .tga, you have the option to turn on or off RLE compression (you would want it off).

i use mgi photosuite

Thnx guys! it shows better now:
And mindnumbingly-complicated-wireframe-for-a-weapon:

looks like you have a few unnecessary Polygons, but its very well done

This is a revamping of something I have been working on for a while now.
It is the Zero-G Stormtrooper, it has be reworked somewhat using some of the modeling things I have learned since I started it as well the texture is entirely from scratch utilizing ambient occlusion maps generated in XSI. It is not totally finished, have some detail work to do but without any further rambling here are some pictures.

Lol I am always out-done

HAHA Friggin Sweet Nice job!

Woah, I remeber that one, FragMe, good job!

Hehe... I still have the head texture from a when you showed it to me. Extremely well-done. Is it going to have take-off anims or 9pose, or will it just be a static vehicle?

It will still use the take off anims it had before. I did try to experiment with giving it both take off and 9pose but you can only have one or the other.

Wow, thats a great model!
In about 5 years or so I might be able to model like that,
if I work, oh bout 20 hours a day LOL
Very cool

You will be surprised at the pace you go if you ahve the passion

Taht 20 years might jsut turn out to be 20 days, which is just about 3/4 a month

It's ok, some of the UV's seem off, some things don't match up and you have black borders on the hands.

It is not UV's that are off it is drinking too much coffee then trying to paint fine lines.
That it why I said there is more detail work to be done.

Off-topic: I'm assuming that you like that new coffee machine of yours?

Coffee=bad for you

Well then it seems that you painted a texture with a black backdrop rather than just using white so that you wouldn't see boundaries of where certain areas start/stop.

Actually, he painted it (at least the helmet) with a white backdrop. He actually sent me the texture with just the head a while back.

Wire: Probably only my third gun model that I'm proud of, I'm getting this ready for ingame use as we speak.

Maybe u should position the handle on the colorful cross too just incase. Hp_active sometimes go bonkers.

very nice shotgun!
